AI models are powerful, but they don't forget. And that's a problem.They hallucinate. They inherit bias. They absorb sensitive data. And once they're trained, fixing those issues is painfully expensive. Retraining takes weeks and maybe tens of millions of dollars. And any guardrails the AI company puts up are brittle.What if you could perform surgery on the model itself?In this episode of TechFirst, John Koetsier sits down with Ben Luria, co-founder of Hirundo, to explore machine unlearning, a new approach that selectively removes unwanted data, behaviors, and vulnerabilities from trained AI systems.Hirundo claims it can:• Cut hallucinations in half• Massively reduce bias• Reduce successful prompt injection attacks by over 90%• Do it in under an hour on a single GPU• Preserve benchmark performanceInstead of adding more guardrails, machine unlearning works inside the model, identifying problematic weights, isolating behavioral vectors, and surgically removing risks without degrading quality.If AI is going mainstream in enterprises, it needs a remediation layer. Is machine unlearning the missing piece?⸻GuestBen LuriaCo-Founder, HirundoNhirhttps://www.hirundo.io⸻Topics Covered• Why AI models “can't forget”• The difference between hallucinations and inaccuracies• Why guardrails aren't enough• How prompt injection works — and how to reduce it• Removing PII and noncompliant training data• AI security at the model level• Why machine unlearning could become standard by 2030⸻If you're building, deploying, or investing in AI, this is a conversation you can't miss.
Introduction — Are GLP-1 Drugs Forever?Have you heard experts say that GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are forever drugs — because once you stop, you regain all the weight?I'm not fully convinced that's true.I've found three promising approaches being developed that may help people stop medication without immediate weight regain.Each approach is completely different:One focuses on the stomachOne on the brainOne on structured lifestyle interventionI'm Dr. Gary Pepper. I've practiced endocrinology for over 30 years. This podcast is unsponsored, and I receive no financial compensation from the treatments discussed. This content is educational only and not a substitute for medical care from your physician.Chapter 1 — Resetting the Gut (DMR)The first approach is called Duodenal Mucosal Resurfacing (DMR).The theory is that while you're on GLP-1 medication, the part of the stomach that normally produces appetite-regulating hormones becomes dormant. After long enough, it may struggle to restart when medication stops.DMR removes the top layer of the stomach lining using a heated endoscope. This forces regeneration of fresh cells that produce appetite-controlling hormones.In a short three-month study, patients who underwent the procedure did not regain weight after stopping medication — some continued to lose.This sounds dramatic, but the technique is already FDA-approved for other stomach conditions. It is not yet approved for weight management, but it shows where research is heading.Chapter 2 — Retraining the Brain (rTMS)The second approach targets the brain instead of the gut.It's called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) — already used for depression treatment.Magnetic coils stimulate appetite control centers in the brain. After just five weeks of treatment, participants lost as much weight over a year as those taking semaglutide for a full year.This is early research, but it suggests appetite control may eventually be trained neurologically rather than chemically.Chapter 3 — Exercise as Hormone RehabilitationThe third approach is the most practical and immediately available: structured exercise.Researchers at the University of Copenhagen studied people stopping GLP-1 medication after a year of use.Those who followed a structured program of resistance and cardio training regained almost no weight — averaging about five pounds over a year.Those returning to sedentary habits regained most of their weight.Exercise appeared to restore the body's natural GLP-1-like hormone production.This is not about willpower.It's biological rehabilitation.Closing — A Changing LandscapeThese three approaches show that weight regain after GLP-1 is not inevitable.The science is evolving quickly.I'll continue tracking new developments and sharing updates here.Thanks for listeninGary Pepper, M.D., an associate professor at a prominent medical school and endocrinologist with 40 years of experience, brings clarity to numerous topics within the field of metabolic health.

In this episode, I explore the difference between using movement for relief versus using it for real, lasting change. I unpack the concept of "Yoga Advil," why relief isn't wrong, and how it can either keep you stuck or become the doorway to deeper understanding and healing. I also introduce what it means to become a movement detective — someone who uses curiosity, awareness, and feedback instead of just repetition. This episode is about learning how to think while you move, so your body isn't just feeling better, but actually changing.
One of the biggest challenges during menopause is heightened emotions, which can easily be mistaken for hunger. There are lots of weight-loss strategies, but perhaps one of the most important is learning to recognize the signals your body sends you to eat only when hungry and STOP when full, without relying on diets or external rules. Learning how to eat, and not diet, puts you in control, respects boundaries, and leads to lasting weight and life transformation.

Why can't leaders win anymore? No matter what you say, someone's upset. In this conversation with Carey Nieuwhof, host of one of today's most influential leadership podcasts, we unpack why 49 hours a week on our phones has created 100 different experiences in a room of 100 people. From the woman who won't use plastic cutlery to why your weird uncle believes conspiracy theories, we explore how discipleship by algorithm is fragmenting society. We also talk about the false immediacy of social media, why high performers have the strongest inner critics, the Mount Rushmore of books we recommend, and what it takes to build relationships with people you admire without jumping levels of intimacy. Plus, Carey shares why the work is the reward, how he retaught himself to read books, and why he's pursuing mastery in his 60s.

André, The Impulsive Thinker™, unpacks the real roots of addiction for the growth mindset ADHD Entrepreneur in this SUD Short. Inspired by a conversation with addiction expert Rand Teed, André cuts through the stigma, sharing how addiction is actually about brain dysregulation—not weakness or morals. This episode dives into why recovery is more about retraining your brain and finding healthy rewards than just quitting substances. If you've ever swapped one habit for another or struggled with emotional eating, this reflection might hit close to home. Discover why shame-free understanding and reconnecting with yourself are the keys to lasting change.
“Your brain isn't broken. It's repeating what it's been taught to protect you.”This Earth Xperience explores how anxiety, grief, belief systems, and the body interact, and what healing looks like when we stop fighting our internal experiences and start working with them.Marlin Bonds shares how his work emerged from lived experience rather than theory. The conversation centers on how anxiety, panic, and emotional distress are not personal failures, but learned patterns reinforced by the brain through repetition. Fear is reframed not as something to eliminate, but as information the nervous system is responding to, sometimes too well.The discussion moves through how grief imprints the brain and how repeated thoughts and emotional responses create loops that shape behavior, anticipation, and panic. Marlin explains that the brain's job is protection, not peace, and when belief systems reinforce fear, the body follows. Healing begins when awareness interrupts these loops and repetition is used intentionally to retrain emotional responses.Faith and belief systems are explored as lived frameworks rather than abstract ideas. The episode reflects on how beliefs influence how the brain interprets uncertainty, loss, and purpose. Science and spirituality are not positioned as opposites, but as complementary ways of understanding how humans regulate fear, trust, and resilience.The conversation also touches on purpose and creation. Marlin shares how his work with Hypno Loops was built by listening to patterns in himself and others, then creating tools that support long term nervous system regulation. Healing is presented as a process of consistency, patience, and compassion rather than a single breakthrough moment.Throughout the episode, authenticity remains central. Anxiety and grief are not treated as flaws to hide, but as signals to understand. The body is included in the healing process, not bypassed. The episode invites listeners to reconsider their relationship with their thoughts, emotional responses, and internal narratives.Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint. The X in Earth Xperiences represents the unique experience of being human in this body, with this brain, in this season of life. In this episode, the X is the experience of learning how to work with the mind and body instead of against them, with hookmantv.Questions to exploreCan anxiety and grief be retrained rather than eliminated?What role do belief systems play in how the brain responds to fear?How does repetition shape emotional patterns over time?What happens when we stop fighting the body and start listening to it?Can authenticity support healing more effectively than suppression?How do faith and neuroscience intersect in lived experience?How to connect with the creatorYou can learn more about Marlin Bonds and his work in brain training and emotional repetition at hypnoloops.com.
If gratitude and grief seem to arrive hand in hand this season or hope feels costly, like putting your armor down in the middle of a battle… Nothing is wrong with you. Your brain is doing exactly what it was designed to do. Dr. Alison sits down with researcher, author, trauma educator, and joy scholar Dr. MaryCatherine McDonald to explore the often misunderstood relationship between trauma and joy. Drawing from neuroscience, trauma research, and lived experience, Dr MaryCatherine explains why joy can feel threatening after loss or prolonged stress. Together, they unpack: Why trauma responses are strength responses, not weaknesses The “joy thieves” that quietly steal our capacity for delight Why joy and grief are not opposites, and often show up together How tiny moments can gently retrain your brain for joy What neuroscientists call the hope circuit, and how to activate it

In this episode, Sherry sits down with Adam Hart, a personal transformation coach, to explore the journey from burnout, self-sabotage, and anxiety toward emotional freedom and self-mastery. Adam shares his story of hitting rock bottom in Toronto, discovering rock climbing, and how that experience became the foundation of his approach to transformation.Through his story, listeners learn how stress, ADHD, depression, and addictive patterns hijack the nervous system—and how small, consistent interventions can reset energy, emotions, and choices.1. From Burnout to Transformation Adam reflects on mid-20s burnout and the physical, emotional, and mental collapse that led him to discover the importance of presence and nervous system regulation. Sherry relates her own burnout experience, creating a shared space for listeners who've been there.Key takeaways:Burnout often appears gradually, creeping into life.The mind feeds off fight-or-flight energy, reinforcing anxiety and unhealthy habits.Awareness of your mind is the first step to reclaiming control.2. The Power of Rock Climbing Adam found relief from anxiety through rock climbing, which became a form of therapy. Climbing helped him:Pause before reactingManage adrenaline and stress responsesStep back from self-sabotaging thoughtsPresence in climbing taught him emotional regulation, forming the foundation for helping others transform behaviors and energy.3. Introducing Heart Flow Adam shares his 33-second breath practice, Heart Flow, designed to:Reset the nervous systemPause self-sabotaging reactions, like sugar cravingsConnect with desired emotions in the presentConsistent practice of Heart Flow allows you to choose love over punishment, building resilience and self-mastery.4. Transforming Habits and Cravings Adam explains how the nervous system drives habitual behaviors, particularly dopamine-driven patterns like sugar, shopping, or other addictions. By creating a pause and training the brain to respond differently, you can:Break automatic reactionsAlign with your desired emotional stateTransform habits without guilt or restriction5. Manifestation and Emotional Frequency The conversation explores the link between nervous system and manifestation:Emotional frequency, regulated by the nervous system, impacts what you attract.Children naturally experience joy and abundance; adults often resist due to conditioning and limiting beliefs.Retraining the nervous system and cultivating presence helps manifest the life you desire.6. The Cultural Lens Adam and Sherry discuss modern pressures—from social media to processed foods to artificial light—that subtly keep us in fight-or-flight mode. Understanding these influences is essential to reclaim autonomy over your nervous system and emotional state.Your TakeawaysAwareness of your mind is the first step to transformation.Small, consistent practices like Heart Flow reset the nervous system.Emotional presence enables conscious choices over automatic reactions.Releasing resistance allows joy, abundance, and self-directed manifestation.Understanding and mitigating environmental stressors empowers lifelong vitality.Journal PromptsWhere in my life am I reacting automatically instead of choosing love?How can I create small pauses in stressful moments today?What emotions do I want to cultivate in the present moment?Which behaviors are driven by my fight-or-flight system, and how can I transform them?Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, Podcast, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.com Work with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transform Go deeper: www.makepeacewithfood.com Share your biggest takeaway and tag me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today, I'm exploring a truth that's changed everything for me and my clients: we are not broken machines; we are adaptive, conscious beings in dynamic systems of repair.After years of sitting with people navigating complex chronic illness, I've realized that our biology is not just chemical, it's also energetic and informational. Our nervous systems are constantly scanning for safety, and when symptoms arise, they often become the story our brains use to make sense of chaos: “It's my mold,” “It's my MTHFR gene,” “It's my hormones.” These narratives can help us, but they can also trap us.The healing work lies in the yes, and… validating the diagnosis, while remembering we have levers of influence: breath, movement, light, connection, thought, and time in nature. Pattern interrupts, tiny shifts in our inner dialogue and sensory experience, can retrain our physiology, lower inflammation, and awaken resilience. Healing, ultimately, is the art of creating new internal conditions where health can return naturally.This episode is a reminder that you are not a malfunctioning machine, you are a masterpiece in process. Episode Highlights[00:00] – The nervous system as storyteller: how our brains create meaning from illness[01:24] – “I am broken because…”: how health narratives form and when they hold us back[02:47] – Why healing must include biology, energy, and information—not just chemistry[04:15] – The power of breath, cold, heat, light, and thought to change physiology[05:11] – Nature therapy: the most accessible medicine on Earth (and it's free)[06:40] – How fear-based stories become cages and the ego resists the real work[07:32] – Limbic system retraining: the ROI of rewiring your stress response[08:55] – The bridge of true healing: biology meets consciousness[09:45] – Healing isn't fixing; it's changing the conditions for adaptation[10:01] – A closing love letter to your body and its innate intelligenceLinks & ResourcesThe Biological Blueprint Program: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/ Beam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN Silver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN LightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794— Code: beautifullybroken CatchBio: https://catchbio.com — Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Aditi Bhalla's story reads like a cautionary tale about high achievement. A specialist prosthodontist who ticked every box—academic success, specialist training, teaching positions—she found herself breaking down in surgery in 2018, asking the question so many high achievers eventually face: is this it? After developing De Quervain's tenosynovitis from repetitive movements and stress, Aditi was forced to step away from dentistry.

In this episode, I'm joined by Claire Buckley, who opens up about her lifelong struggle with food, emotional eating, and the constant “food noise” that shaped so much of her life. Claire talks about how she first realised her relationship with food felt different from those around her, the frustration of seeking help through traditional weight loss groups, and the deeper emotional cycle that kept her feeling stuck. She shares honestly about panic attacks, shame, and the sense of failure that came with every new attempt — and how finding the right support, along with her experience using Mounjaro, has helped her quiet the noise and begin to rebuild trust with herself. It's a powerful, relatable conversation about self-awareness, compassion, and what it really means to find peace with food.

“So when you experience that peace, it's because it's your nature. Your real nature is peaceful. It is blissful. It is contented.”Wow, this is an incredible episode from early in September, recorded for the Good Company livestream series with my brilliant friend Katharine from Unchanging Being.

Your brain can learn safety, and that changes everything about chronic pain and illness. We're pulling back the curtain on brain retraining—what it is, what it isn't, and how to use it day to day without turning healing into a pressure-filled project. If you've ever tried a practice, felt your pain/symptom drop once, and then chased that result like a pain pill, this conversation will reset your approach in the most helpful way.We start by defining brain retraining in clear terms and grounding it in two pillars: safe self-talk and embodiment. You'll hear how confident, kind language reduces threat while curious attention to sensation teaches your nervous system that your body is safe. From there, we unpack eight practical principles: show and tell (reassure, then gently expose), set a short-term goal of safety and a long-term goal of desensitization, spot dysregulation early, reframe control toward your response, practice curiosity on purpose, start with safety signals, take embodiment into daily life, and stay playful so threat stays low. We also add a bonus: be consistent without turning intensity into a new problem.Expect down-to-earth examples you can try today, like tension-and-release breathing, quick drop-ins during daily activities, and using a light touch of humor to soften vigilance. You'll learn why chasing instant relief backfires, how “healing wins” compound, and what it looks like to build resilience with small, repeated reps instead of white-knuckling your way through symptoms. Whether you're new to mind-body work or refining your practice, these tools will help you feel safer, calmer, and more connected as your brain unlearns pain and illness.If this resonates, subscribe, share with someone who needs hope, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

Mary also highlights research showing how positive emotions fuel creativity and problem-solving, and she offers practical ways physicians can reconnect with meaning in their work.

Homesteading isn't just about raising your own food— it's about building a life where relationships, rhythms, and real community come first. In this conversation with RuthAnn, we dig into everything from screen-free parenting to the myth of “not enough time,” the health wake-up call that reshaped her family's lifestyle, and the true meaning of the village for moms today. If you've ever wondered how to slow down and find joy in the ordinary while strengthening your home, join us for this conversation! In this episode, we cover: Why homesteading is about more than food on the table— prioritizing relationships make it matter Lessons carried from an Old Order Mennonite childhood into today's homemaking rhythms The childhood health scare that flipped everything and sent RuthAnn's family back to homemade, nourishing food How food choices connect to kids' behavior, focus, and overall peace in the home The real thief of time in modern motherhood and how to reclaim creativity from screen addiction Why RuthAnn keeps her kids off screens and trusts they'll thrive in the skills they need when the time comes Retraining our brains to find joy in “ordinary” tasks like bread baking, gardening, and family meals The myths of “the village” and what young moms are missing when social media becomes their community Why younger moms often don't trust older moms these days and how smaller families have broken the natural overlap of generations in parenting A better way for older moms to support the next generation and be “the village”: listening first, then guiding with wisdom and understanding The true heart of homesteading: slower rhythms, stronger families, and intentional time together View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

She discusses the impact of nervous system imprinting on attraction, the difference between trauma bonding and real connection, and how to retrain oneself to embrace healthy love. Teal emphasizes the importance of recognizing emotional safety and building a secure foundation for relationships, encouraging listeners to reflect on their attachment styles and patterns in love.Takeaways:Emotionally healthy men can feel boring due to past trauma.Nervous system imprinting affects our attraction to partners.Stability in relationships may feel less exciting than chaos.Recognizing emotional safety is crucial for healthy connections.Trauma bonding creates a cycle of craving chaos and drama.True connection is calm and emotionally nourishing.Craving excitement can indicate an unhealthy attachment style.Retraining your nervous system can help embrace healthy love.Building attraction takes time and emotional safety.You are not broken; healing is a process.Schedule Your 30-Minute Relationship Audit Today: https://calendly.com/tealeriege/auditFollow Teal on Insta Here:https://www.instagram.com/tealelisabeth_/Download Teal's Relax into Love Guided Meditations here: https://www.tealelisabeth.com/meditationsJump into the Love Life Accelerator Here:https://www.tealelisabeth.com/accelerator Learn more about her Soul Rebirth Course here: https://www.tealelisabeth.com/soul-rebirthLearn more about her Sacred Union Course here:https://www.tealelisabeth.com/sacred-unionEmail Teal anytime here: teal@relax-into-love.comSupport the show
Hey team! My guest this week is Dr. Ute Liersch, a Chartered Counselling and Coaching Psychologist with over a decade of clinical experience and author of A Minimalist's Guide to Becoming Resilient. Dr. Ute specializes in helping adults navigate anxiety, ADHD, and burnout. Her therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness-based therapies. Beyond her clinical practice, Dr. Ute is an associate lecturer at Birkbeck, University of London, and holds a Fellowship in Higher Education. In our conversation, we explore the nervous system beyond the textbook fight-flight-freeze model, including how our nervous system shapes our mood, motivation, and even the way we see the world. Dr. Ute explains why so many of us with ADHD find that our sympathetic nervous system is permanently on edge and how we can work on rewiring that response. We also talk about perfectionism, attention types, and what resilience looks like in real life, breaking it down into actionable steps that fit into our schedules and ADHD brains. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at http://hackingyouradhd.com/240 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips 1. Our parasympathetic nervous system can get stuck in a permanent state of “go time.” To help move our PNS back to a relaxed state, Dr. Ute suggests progressive muscle relaxation, where you are tensing and then releasing muscle groups one at a time so you can physically feel the shift from tension to ease. 2. Many of us have internalized the idea that there's something fundamentally wrong with the way we work, think, or exist. Dr. Ute suggests replacing this assumption of personal defect with curiosity: “If I weren't wrong, what would I need to feel safe?” This slight shift can open up room to problem-solve and tailor strategies to your actual needs. 3. We often talk about resilience like it's a fixed trait—you either “have it” or you don't. But Dr. Ute points out that resilience is about what you do, not what you are. It's built in small, repeatable actions that teach your nervous system and your mind how to recover from stressors. Resilience isn't about holding it together forever; it's about giving yourself enough space and recovery so you can keep going when you need it the most.

Ever find yourself trapped in a cycle of obsessing over every twinge, googling symptoms endlessly, or talking about your pain nonstop? That mental fixation isn't just a reaction to your chronic pain and illness—it might actually be the force keeping it alive.In this transformative episode, we unveil our powerful "Go From T to S" brain retraining technique for breaking free from chronic pain and illness patterns. This simple yet profound approach helps you identify when you're feeding symptom pathways through common behaviours (the T's): Trying to fix it, Thinking about it too much, Testing it constantly, and Talking about it excessively. We then guide you through shifting to healing actions (the S's): Starving the pathway of attention, Shifting to safety signals, Showing your body it's healthy, practicing Somatic focus appropriately, and Sticking to your game plan.Tanner shares his personal journey from being bedridden with debilitating pain to experiencing his first breakthrough moment of genuine indifference toward symptoms during his honeymoon. He describes how cultivating this indifference wasn't about forced positive thinking, but about consistently redirecting his attention away from fear-based responses toward safety and regulation. Through concrete examples and practical strategies, we demonstrate how this technique helps your brain finally "forget" about chronic pain and illness by creating new, healthier neural pathways.Whether you're struggling with chronic pain, fatigue, fibromyalgia, IBS, or anxiety symptoms, this episode offers a missing piece that could transform your healing journey. The goal isn't to mask or ignore your symptoms, but to change your brain's relationship with them at a fundamental level. Check out our online course for comprehensive support in implementing these strategies into your daily life: https://www.mbodycommunity.com/Tanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson are therapists who treat neuroplastic pain and mind-body symptoms.

In some ways, this is admirable and very useful, for a lot of us though, without exploring and establishing the details behind it and how exactly it looks to be creative, we end up with a lot of confusion, inconsistencies, and dropping the ball on quality service.

Today on Shift Break we will be talking about where and how to apply creativity in the various places in the coffee shop.

Kristen Domke: Military Mental Health is Broken | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this deeply emotional and brutally honest episode of the Hopeaholics Podcast, we sit down with Kristen Domke—an Air Force veteran, personal trainer, and survivor—whose life story is nothing short of extraordinary. Kristen opens up about the emotional toll of serving in the military, including multiple deployments, witnessing unimaginable trauma, surviving military sexual assault, and battling intense mental health struggles that led to multiple suicide attempts. Her story is one of heartbreak, resilience, and redemption. After years of numbing pain through alcohol, losing her identity as a military police officer, and feeling completely alone, Kristen finally reached a breaking point—and then, miraculously, a breakthrough. Through intensive treatment, therapy, a renewed connection with faith, and the support of a recovery community, Kristen found the strength to rebuild her life and start healing from the inside out. She talks candidly about how hard it was to ask for help, what recovery really means beyond just sobriety, and how fitness, faith, and setting boundaries helped her find purpose again.#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

You've heard the lie: "You'll do great after the military. Companies are lining up to hire vets." But what if that's exactly what's breaking us? Jason Anderson spent 20 years in the Air Force, leading international missions, and closing out his career at the Pentagon. He was ready for the civilian world, or so he thought. What followed was years of hidden anxiety, 3 a.m. panic, and strained family dynamics, all while climbing the corporate ladder. On the outside, he looked successful. Inside, he was unraveling. In this eye-opening conversation, Jason dismantles the flawed assumptions behind the military's Transition Assistance Program and reveals the hidden link between poorly executed transitions and veteran mental health crises.

Today, I'm back for part 2 of my conversation with Dave Asprey. In this episode, we get into the controversial health practices and daily routines that have transformed his health and energy. Dave reveals his complete daily protocol, including cold plunges, infrared saunas, and the shocking revelation that he takes 150 supplements daily. He challenges conventional wisdom about exercise ("it doesn't make you lose weight"), nutrition ("vegan diets were my biggest mistake"), and controversial testosterone optimization protocols that he's followed since age 26. Dave Asprey is the founder of nine companies, including Bulletproof, Danger Coffee, TrueDark, and Upgrade Labs. He's authored bestselling books including "The Bulletproof Diet," "Head Strong," and his newest release, "Heavily Meditated."
